Ziggy Stardust

she lays down
she's kissing me bored on the bed
we were just out
picked up a cd and left

mmm
we were laughing down the hall
when we stole ziggy stardust from the mall

she lays down
the sheets are unwashed and cold
i had a dream
that you laughed me offstage at your show

ooh
and the crowd, they were appalled
when we stole ziggy stardust from the mall

and it started out sweet
with movies and park dates and feasts
it started out sweet
now i'm scared to see you in the street

ooh
i'll end it when you call
when we stole ziggy stardust from the mall

and i hold my hatred like a trophy
for your complex, i was used

try to touch a ghost
and your hands will just fall through

what did i do
except not fall in love with you

and you're still talking about me
but the most i can recall
is when we stole ziggy stardust from the mall

alone again
alone again
alone again

alone again
alone again
alone again

and i never said one bad thing about you
though i had every reason to
i know you talked shit to my friends
darling, what did you expect?

they're mine
and the songs were mine
but you misread every line
never thought you'd be so mean

and the birthday card you wrote me
where you told me that you loved me
you had barely even kissed me
love, you barely even knew me

you stole all my love like a cd
you broke me just so you could fix me
i absolve myself of the guilt of not falling in love

cause what if i had looked up
really seen you for the first time
if i'd loved you like you're loving me
i'd've looked in your eyes and got lost in the green

oh, what could have been

this is the end now
i just had to discredit myself
i've finished the book now
i'll put it back on the shelf

mmm
say goodbye when you call
say goodbye to ziggy stardust and the mall

you've got a new boy
and i finally fell in love
it's funny how easy the words seemed to slip off my tongue

you fell in love with our problems
and i fell in love with the sun
i mightn't have noticed
if you only knew when to stop

ooh
on your birthday, i recall
you said "darling, make a wish"
i wished to fall
